The renewed yard of a characterful house
We had the pleasure of designing the garden of Liisa and Osmo’s house. Design was based on the architecture of the house and the view to the pine forest behind the house.
Liisa and Osmo were hoping for a different kind of garden. “Instead of blooming perennials or grass, we wanted bushes, especially different shapes, colours and values. I also wanted it to be easy to maintain,” explains Liisa.
Mats Wikström, our gardening wizard, was responsible for the execution and design of the garden. “It was great to be told not to be too gentle with the choice of plants,” Mats says with a smile. “Liisa and Osmo basically gave us carte blanche, with only a few guidelines.”
Liisa and Osmo say that the end result matches their wishes. “Absolutely beautiful colours and textures. The plants are in all shades of green, red and yellow. I also got aisles, meticulous and beautiful stone paving, secluded areas, hay swaying in the wind and a renewed patio.”
Harmony with the environment was also achieved. “The overall result fits perfectly with the old garden’s big climbing hydrangeas and bittersweets growing along the old pines”, admires Liisa. “It is a stunning view with a minimal amount of work.”
Here at InnoGreen we always start garden building projects with a free yard viewing to guarantee a result that fits the spirit of the building and environment. After the visit, we customise an offer covering everything from design to execution, also including stonework, woodwork, and the plants. We also carry out work from ready designs. We can take care of even the most difficult work - challenge us to make your wildest garden dreams come true.

Finland’s Largest Outdoor Green Wall: Reflections After the First Summer
In the spring of 2025, Finland’s largest outdoor green wall was completed on the façade of Turun Teknologiakiinteistöt’s property in Turku.
